Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Seattle, WA
Air duct cleaning in Seattle typically runs $450 to $900 for a full single-system home, and the work usually takes four to six hours. What makes Seattle jobs different is the combination of damp air, older housing stock, and hillside construction that pushes moisture into crawl spaces and duct runs. That means more biological growth, more dust re-circulation, and a real reason to clean ducts sooner than homeowners in drier cities would. Call (737) 727-2314 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Seattle Homes Are Different
Seattle’s damp marine climate is the single biggest factor in how ducts get dirty here. Moisture settles in crawl spaces and basement-level duct runs, and once dust mixes with that moisture, it sticks to duct walls and return registers instead of blowing through. Homes in Wallingford, Ballard, and Queen Anne with original 1920s-to-1960s ductwork see more of this because older sheet metal wasn’t sealed as tightly, which lets damp crawl space air pull into the system. Newer townhouse developments on Capitol Hill and in West Seattle may have tighter envelopes, but they often share walls and venting paths that re-circulate cooking grease and pet dander faster. Hilly terrain adds another wrinkle: long vertical returns in hillside homes trap debris at the lowest point, and some mechanical rooms are tight enough that our techs need to run shorter hose runs and stage equipment outside. A few Seattle HOAs, particularly in gated communities around Sand Point and Magnolia, require proof of insurance and a scheduled service window before a truck can park on the property. We’re used to that paperwork and we send the COI ahead of the appointment.
Our Main Seattle Services
Most Seattle homeowners call us for dryer vent work and full air duct cleaning. Here’s what each job involves here and how to get the details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seattle
Dryer vent cleaning in Seattle tends to be a shorter, more urgent job because older homes here often vent through long, narrow runs that exit at the roof or through a side wall with multiple elbows. Lint builds up fast in those bends, especially in homes near Lake Washington where higher outdoor humidity slows drying times. Our techs run a Rotobrush rotary system through the full run from dryer to termination point, then verify airflow at the exterior vent. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Seattle has full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Seattle
Full air duct cleaning in Seattle means cleaning every supply and return run, the trunk lines, the plenums, and the air handler. Because so many Seattle homes draw on crawl spaces and basements, we almost always find musty dust and sometimes light surface mold at the return plenum. We use a Nikro HEPA vacuum in a negative-pressure setup so loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Air Duct Cleaning in Seattle covers the full process, pricing, and what to expect on the day.
HVAC Cleaning in Seattle
HVAC cleaning in Seattle goes beyond the ducts to the blower wheel, evaporator coil, and drain pan, which is where damp Seattle air causes the most trouble. A coil caked with dust and bio-film can’t pull moisture out of the air effectively, and that pushes humidity levels up even with the AC running. HVAC Cleaning in Seattle explains what’s included and how it’s priced.

Prices in Seattle run toward the higher end when a home has multiple systems, especially tall hillside homes with long vertical returns that take longer to brush and vacuum thoroughly. The one thing that never changes is how the price works: a written quote is handed to you before a single duct is touched, and it doesn’t move at the door.
